Versus has been running these promos about every second counting in the Stanley Cup playoffs. They couldn't have been more prohpetic Tuesday night. In 80 seconds, the Hurricanes went from elimination to advancement. In 80 seconds, the Devils went from glory to shame. In 80 seconds, the Caps went from facing the Devils to facing the Penguins, the Penguins went from facing the Bruins to facing the Caps, and the Bruins went from facing the Penguins to facing the Canes. Oh yeah, and the Rangers folded themselves out of the playoffs.
WASHINGTON CAPITALS 2, NEW YORK RANGERS 1
***Washington wins series 4-3***
From Russia with love in this one. Alexander Semin scored Washington's first goal, and veteran Sergei Fedorov tallied the game winner with 5 minutes left in the 3rd. New York's impotent offense only got 15 shots off. And although we'll remain flooded with Ovechkin talk (especially as he's against Sidney Crosby in the next round), we've finally completed the arduous task of listening to experts talk about Sean "3rd Line" Avery.
Fuck you Rangers!
Different sport, different country, different Rangers, same indifference from me. "Fuck you Rangers" means the same in every language.
CAROLINA HURRICANES 4, NEW JERSEY DEVILS 3
***Carolina wins series 4-3***
Wow! Wow! The highlights speak for themselves:
Eric Staal wins it with 32 seconds left, his 5th goal of the series. Unbelievably perfect ending to a series that started out boring and became a thriller. Good to see New Jersey go, because they're boring, and they're good.
So now here are the Eastern Conference match-ups for the next round:
#1 Boston Bruins vs. #6 Carolina Hurricanes
#2 Washington Capitals vs. #4 Pittsburgh Penguins
Can't wait for the next round to start...
